Nothing can replace time spent on studying possible interview questions and thinking about your answers. But there are a few key principles to winning answers, even for questions you're not prepared for. We've outlined these principles here, and even provided possible answers to some of the toughest questions an interviewer can wing at you.

The following are the Answer Suggestions for Tough Questions:

1. The first question is : What can I do for you?

Employers really don't want a straight answer to this question. They know you want a job. Suggested Answers such as "Actually, I'm here to offer you something-loyal and efficient work." or "I think the question is what I can do for you. I'm here to talk about your needs for an expert driver." are good.

2. The second question is: Why don't you tell me something about yourself?

Be prepared to talk about your unique qualities. Wind up with something that relates to the job. An example: "I'm a native of Jones County, raised here and educated at Jones Community College. I have a large number of friends who are loyal to me because I get along with almost any type of person. I've met many of my friends while working as a volunteer in the Habitat for Humanity effort in my community, and my experiences there are among the reasons I'd be an excellent construction worker for your company."

3. The third one is : What kind of work are you looking for?

Be as specific as you can with this particular employer, The best answer to this question will be found in the job description you obtained prior to the interview. You can repeat the duties listed for the position for which you're interviewing.

4. The last one is : What do you do best?

As you prepare for the interview, think through some of your recent success you can use to give a good answer to this question. It's best if they relate to ways you improved the current business, generated new business, or saved money for the company.
